Digital Desk | Mandya (Karnataka), Sep 16 (IANS) Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, R. Ashoka, on Wednesday alleged that it was in the blood of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to treat Hindus as inferior, and accused Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of functioning as a puppet of the Congress leadership. Addressing reporters in Maddur while participating in a Ganesh immersion procession, Ashoka said the BJP had no expectations from the Chief Minister and demanded action against the police inspector of T. Narasipura town over his alleged controversial remarks concerning a Ganesh procession. It is in the blood of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to treat Hindus as inferiors. D.K. Shivakumar is a puppet in their hands. We do not have any expectation from this puppet Chief Minister, Ashoka alleged. He said the BJP had given the government one week's time to suspend the T. Narasipura town police Inspector, who, according to Ashoka, had made a controversial statement regarding the Ganesh procession. I have spoken to our party workers in Mysuru and T. Narasipura. We are planning to hold a huge Ganesh immersion procession there as well, like the one we are organising in Maddur, he said. Ashoka also levelled several allegations against the Inspector, alleging that he faced charges of assaulting Dalits with a cricket bat and was allegedly involved in cheating a woman. People are saying that the Inspector is supporting matka and ganja trade in the region. He has given money and is continuing there, while they have taken money and are allowing him to continue, Ashoka further alleged. On criticism of BJP leaders wearing footwear while carrying Ganesh idols during the protest in T. Narasipura town, Ashoka said the BJP was participating in a protest and not conducting worship. Whenever a Ganesh idol is installed, worshipping starts. Ganesh idols are sold on the streets, we take them home and conduct worship. That is when sanctity comes in. We were staging a protest; we were not conducting worship, he said. He also questioned Congress leaders over whether they removed their footwear while receiving mementos containing pictures of Hindu deities at public events. On the dais, while receiving mementos containing pictures of Hindu gods, have they received them by removing their chappals? I am asking Congress people. Let them answer, he said. The remarks came amid a political confrontation between the BJP and Congress in Karnataka over Ganesh processions and the conduct of police personnel. It can be recalled that a stone pelting incident occurred during a Ganesha idol immersion procession in Maddur town, Mandya district, on September 7, 2025, leaving at least eight people injured and triggering local protests and prohibitory orders. Violence broke out when the procession passed near a place of worship in Ram Rahim Nagar, where stones were reportedly hurled at participants, causing chaos and injuries. Law enforcement quickly dispersed the groups, imposed Section 144 prohibitory orders, and took 20 individuals into custody. Police later registered multiple cases regarding the stone pelting and subsequent protests.

SIR: Karnataka govt directs officials to ensure no eligible voter is excluded from electoral rolls
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 16 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister, G. Parameshwara, on Wednesday directed officials to ensure that people who have shifted to other places for various reasons are not excluded from the electoral rolls during the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in the state. Chairing a revenue department progress review meeting with Deputy Commissioners from all districts through videoconference at Vidhana Soudha, Dy CM Parameshwara said mapping of 43.81 lakh voters across the state was yet to be completed. He said notices had been issued for correction of names and other electoral roll-related issues and directed officials to take steps to ensure that no eligible voter was left out of the electoral rolls. There should be no delay in issuing Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs). Greater attention should be given to Form 6. There is a possibility that voters who have left their native places and have been residing elsewhere for several years may be excluded from the electoral rolls. This should not be neglected, he said Dy CM Parameshwara directed officials to record the necessary details of people who have shifted to other places as part of the SIR process. Dy CM Parameshwara also directed officials to speed up the registration process for Bharat Jodo Yuva Sanghas, describing it as a flagship initiative of Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. The process of registering the Sanghas, appointing mentors and starting the organisations should be expedited. The process had been halted due to technical issues. Application forms should be distributed and filled out immediately, he said. He said the Bharat Jodo Yuva Sangha programme was being implemented for the first time in the country and would bring recognition to the government and officials. He directed officials to expedite the disposal of applications received under the Prajaseva Abhiyan, noting that a large number of applications were related to the Revenue Department. Applications concerning RTC corrections, pension-related issues and other revenue matters should be disposed of at the earliest, he said. He added that the procedures relating to RTC and phodi cases had been simplified. Officials were directed to seek guidance from senior officers and take further action wherever there were any difficulties. Dy CM Parameshwara also directed officials not to neglect the programme to provide housing sites to poor families. He said the scheme had received a positive response from the public and officials should take it seriously. In some districts, the identification of land had not yet been completed. The process of identifying land for developing sites should be completed by the end of this month. This should not be neglected. Senior officials will provide technical support, he said. Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department R.K. Kataria, Disaster Management Department Secretary Manoj Kumar Meena, Revenue Commissioner Meena Nagaraj and Commissioner of the Department of Survey, Settlement and Land Records Venkataraj, among others, attended the meeting. It can be noted that the Election Commission of India's SIR draft rolls in Karnataka deleted over 1.07 crore names (about 19.5 per cent of total voters) under the 'Absent, Shifted, Duplicate, Dead, and Others' (ASDDO)' category, with an additional 43.80 lakh voters flagged to receive notices for discrepancies, triggering widespread public anxiety and political concern.

Let BJP leaders sing full Vande Mataram without teleprompter: Karnataka HM Kharge
Digital Desk | Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Sep 16 (IANS) Karnataka Home Minister, Priyank Kharge, on Wednesday took a dig at BJP leaders over the controversy surrounding the singing of Vande Mataram, challenging Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka and BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra to sing the full National Song without the aid of a teleprompter. Speaking in Kalaburagi, HM Kharge said, We know only two stanzas. BJP MLAs have left the platform claiming that it is an insult. I am preparing a platform for R. Ashoka and B.Y. Vijayendra. Let them sing Vande Mataram without a teleprompter. He further said BJP leaders should sing the entire song after practising it. Since yesterday, BJP leaders must have been memorising it. At least let them sing after practising, Kharge said, taking a jibe at BJP leaders. He also claimed that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah did not know how to sing Vande Mataram in full. On the proposed special session of the Karnataka Assembly, HM Kharge said the government had convened it to discuss issues concerning the people. We have called a special Assembly session to discuss the issues of the people. The Monsoon Session was completely disrupted by the Opposition parties, he said. Kharge said the state government was also ready to discuss the alleged KPSC scam in the Assembly and challenged the BJP to participate in the discussion. We are ready to discuss the KPSC scam as well. Let BJP come for discussion, he said. Responding to Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy's allegations regarding the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) scam, Kharge said Kumaraswamy had initially alleged that he was involved in the scam and later demanded that he take moral responsibility. Kumaraswamy first stated that Priyank Kharge is involved in the KPSC scam, later he is claiming that I should take moral responsibility, he said. HM Kharge questioned why BJP leaders were not naming suspended KPSC Chairman Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar who had been appointed by a previous BJP government in the state, while raising allegations related to the recruitment irregularities. Why are BJP leaders not taking the name of suspended KPSC Chairman Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar? Why won't BJP leaders discuss anything about him? he asked. The remarks came amid a political confrontation between the ruling Congress and opposition BJP over the KPSC controversy and the issue of Vande Mataram.

BJP not against Muslims; protest was against cop's remarks: K'taka MP on Ganesh procession row
Digital Desk | Mysuru, Sep 16 (IANS) Mysuru-Kodagu MP and royal scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar on Wednesday said the BJP was not opposed to Muslims and clarified that the party's protest in T. Narasipura town was against remarks made by a police inspector regarding a procession in front of a mosque. Speaking in Mysuru, Yaduveer said the BJP had staged the protest condemning the police inspector's statement that a procession would not be allowed in front of a mosque. We are opposed to the T. Narasipura police inspector. For that reason, we have protested. We have not protested targeting Muslims, he said. Yaduveer said the BJP's protest should not be portrayed as being directed against the Muslim community. Responding to criticism over BJP leaders wearing shoes and slippers while holding Ganesh idols during the protest in front of the T. Narasipura police station, Yaduveer said the idols being carried by the protesters had not been installed. For installed idols, that kind of respect is given. The idols which we held were not installed. In that respect, it is not an issue of controversy. We were wearing chappals while protesting on the street, he said. Yaduveer also alleged that the police had defended Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar over the issue. I have observed that the police defended CM Shivakumar. If you defend such statements, what would be the public opinion? he questioned. Referring to the police inspector's remarks at a peace meeting, Yaduveer said the language used by the officer was inappropriate. He quoted the inspector as saying in Kannada, If a procession is taken in front of the mosque, he will make them repent, and, If you people go there, you get charged up. Yaduveer questioned whether such language was appropriate for a police officer to use during a peace meeting. You ask anyone in society whether using such language in a peace meeting is right or wrong. If such language is used in a peace meeting, who is answerable? he asked. The BJP MP maintained that the party's protest was against the police inspector's alleged remarks and not against any particular community. It can be recalled that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday (September 13) staged a protest in Karnatakas T Narsipur over alleged curbs on a Ganesha procession, even as the district police said there were no restrictions on the route or the festival. The protest was held after T Narsipur Police Inspector Dhananjaya warned Ganesha procession organisers against bursting crackers in front of a mosque on Link Road, reports said. The BJP interpreted the remarks as restrictions on the procession and demanded the inspectors suspension. Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, MLA T.S. Srivatsa, former MP Pratap Simha and other BJP leaders joined the protest. Ashoka carried a Ganesha idol and led a march along the Link Road. The BJP leaders were later detained by the police and subsequently released.
Self-claimed Maoist accused in bomb blast held after month-long hideout in Karnataka hills
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS) Condemning the recent remarks of Karnataka Congress President, B.K. Hariprasad, on imprisoned student activist Umar Khalid, Telangana BJP President N. Ramchander Rao on Wednesday said that it was unfortunate to call such an individual 'a nationalist.' Speaking to IANS, Rao said, The Karnataka government and Karnataka leaders who have given a certificate of being a nationalist to Umar Khalid is very unfortunate. We condemn such certificates being given to people who speak about dividing India, who speak about azaadi for Kashmir. Who speak about tukde-tukde karenge Bharat ke. And these above persons indulge in anti-national activities. Claiming that the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) is a nationalist force, Rao said that the only body which would oppose such remarks is the student organisation affiliaited to the RSS. The Karnataka government must apologise to the people for making such statements, not only to the people of Karnataka but to the entire country, he demanded. Rao further claimed, Because Umar Khalid is known for anti-national activities, such a person being branded as a nationalist is very unfortunate. Reportedly, the ABVP opposed the proposal to screen a documentary on student activist Umar Khalid at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru. The ABVP had previously sought to cancel the proposed screening of film-maker Lalit Vachanis documentary on imprisoned activist Umar Khalid, titled 'Prisoner No. 626710 is Present'. On Tuesday, B.K. Hariprasad called imprisoned activist Umar Khalid a ationalist and criticised the ABVP for opposing a proposed documentary screening of the student activist at the NLSIU in Bengaluru. He said that ABVP has no right to speak against Khalid because the organisation holds in high regard Nathuram Godse, who was the first terrorist in India. Umar Khalid is a nationalist. And ABVP has no right to speak about Umar Khalid because ABVP adores Nathuram Godse, who was anti-national; the first terrorist of the country. They have no moral right or moral ethics to speak about Umar Khalid, Hariprasad told reporters. suruchi/rad

'Saral Keralam' to cut investment delays; Kerala cabinet clears single-window mechanism
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 16 (IANS) The Kerala Cabinet on Wednesday approved the Saral Keralam initiative aimed at cutting delays in investment clearances by creating a single mechanism to coordinate approvals across departments, with Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan saying as many as 19 laws would be amended to make the system investor-friendly. Briefing the media after the weekly Cabinet meeting, CM Satheesan said the governments objective was to have one state, one approval and one body for fresh investments and to minimise the hurdles faced by investors. Proposals involving investments of Rs 25 crore to Rs 50 crore will be examined by a district-level body, while those above Rs 50 crore will be handled by a state-level body. The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) will coordinate the new mechanism. CM Satheesan clarified that the existing departments would not be bypassed and would continue to discharge their responsibilities, but the process would be streamlined to avoid files remaining pending for years. Some investment proposals, he said, had been pending for as long as seven years. The Cabinet decision followed consultations with various departments, he said. On the controversy surrounding the police search at the Reporter TV office on Wednesday morning in connection with the Messi-related fraud case, CM Satheesan said the channels functioning had not been stopped, noting that he had learnt about the police action through the channel itself. He said the SIT had been constituted to investigate the Messi episode and that the court had permitted the police to proceed with the investigation. The searches were part of that probe, he said. Responding to Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayans criticism of the police action, CM Satheesan recalled police action against Mangalam TV, Asianet and Marunadan during the previous governments tenure, and said the present action was being carried out according to law. On the power crisis, CM Satheesan said the immediate electricity shortage would be addressed within a week, while the government had begun work on a long-term power policy with particular emphasis on renewable energy. Kerala would soon enter into power-purchase agreements from October until the next monsoon, he said. He pointed to Karnatakas renewable energy capacity, saying Kerala had not adequately tapped the sector and would examine the Karnataka model. The CM also rejected claims that the Kerala State Electricity Board was being prepared for privatisation, calling the reports baseless. The state is currently facing continued supply constraints and power cuts amid a wider shortage in the national grid. CM Satheesan also said two NIA courts would be established in Kochi, with the Centre bearing the expenditure. On the seizure of a dairy from the residence of former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayans daughter, he said contradictory reports from the family had emerged on whether such a dairy existed and that the government had nothing to say on the issue. Reacting to the extended CPI(M) state committee meeting, CM Satheesan said it was strange that the partys Politburo had placed the responsibility for the Lefts electoral setback on state secretary M.V. Govindan and the people of Kerala. On the dispute over questioning of PSC members by Crime Branch in the Planning Board examination case, CM Satheesan said no one was above the law and that PSC chairman and members had no special right to refuse to appear before investigators. He said they would have to cooperate with the police investigation whenever called.

Heavy rain lashes Bengaluru; IMD forecasts more showers across K'taka
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 16 (IANS) Heavy rains lashed Bengaluru, inundating several residential areas and causing damage in parts of the city, even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast widespread rainfall, including heavy showers, across several districts of Karnataka over the next 24 to 48 hours. The heavy downpour in Bengaluru on Tuesday night resulted in the collapse of a military compound wall in the Domlur area, leaving three cows dead and Muniraju, the owner, seriously injured. Muniraju suffered fractures in both legs and is undergoing treatment in the ICU. Residents said they had repeatedly urged authorities to repair the compound wall, which they claimed had remained in a vulnerable condition for several years. They also alleged that the wall had been constructed without an adequate foundation and that there was no proper arrangement for the drainage of rainwater. Residents said water rushes into nearby residential areas whenever there is heavy rainfall. Following the incident, several residents have reportedly moved out of their homes temporarily, fearing that the remaining portion of the compound wall could collapse. Personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Fire and Emergency Services have taken up rescue and relief operations at the spot. Local MLA N.A. Haris visited the affected area and took stock of the situation. Meanwhile, the IMD has forecast widespread rainfall across coastal, Malnad and interior districts of Karnataka under the influence of the southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area. Heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds is likely in Udupi, Mangaluru and Karwar districts. The IMD has also warned of rough sea conditions and advised fishermen not to venture into the sea. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in the hilly and mountainous areas of Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Madikeri and Hassan districts, where a yellow alert has been issued. Several districts in southern and central Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagara, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Mysuru, Mandya, Tumakuru and Chamarajanagar, are likely to receive moderate rainfall. In north Karnataka, Belagavi, Dharwad, Haveri, Gadag, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Ballari districts are likely to receive moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. Strong winds with 30-40 kmph speed are also possible in some areas. Weather experts said rainfall activity is expected to increase across various parts of the state from Wednesday due to a cyclonic circulation at sea level and increased wind speeds. In Bengaluru, partly cloudy weather is expected during the day, with moderate to heavy rainfall likely during the evening or night.

Dakshina Chitra offers assistance for replicating heritage museum model in J&K
Chennai, Sep 15: Director of Dakshina Chitra Heritage Museum Sharath Nambiar has assured all possible assistance and guidance if the museums unique heritage conservation model is replicated in J&K. Interacting with a group of Kashmir-based journalists visiting Chennai as part of a PIB Srinagar tour, Nambiar said every region, including J&K, should have such a facility as it can help preserve traditional heritage and culture while also generating employment opportunities and promoting tourism. He said the Dakshina Chitra model goes beyond preservation of traditional structures and lifestyles, as it also provides livelihood opportunities to local communities and creates an additional attraction for tourists. Nambiar said tourist groups from Kashmir had visited Dakshina Chitra in the past, while some cultural groups from the region had also participated in cultural events organised at the heritage museum. However, he said no formal requisition had so far been received from J&K authorities for replicating the Dakshina Chitra model in the Union Territory. We will be pleased to assist in replicating this model in J&K if the local authorities and government intend to do so, Nambiar said. The Madras Craft Foundation, a self-reliant organisation dedicated to preserving the traditional lifestyle, culture and architectural heritage of South India, has created a unique living heritage space, Dakshina Chitra Heritage Museum, near Chennai. Established in 1996 on a relatively small piece of land, the museum has now completed 30 years of preserving and showcasing the traditional way of life of southern India. It is regarded as one of the first and unique initiatives of its kind in the country, bringing together the traditional architecture and lifestyles of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at one location. The museum has adopted an innovative approach to heritage conservation under which traditional houses from different parts of South India are carefully documented, dismantled and reconstructed at Dakshina Chitra. When a family volunteers to hand over its traditional house for preservation, every aspect of the structure is meticulously documented before it is safely dismantled. Materials including flooring, bricks, wood, steel and other architectural elements are transported to the museum and reused to reconstruct the house in its original form. Dozens of traditional houses have been reconstructed at the museum, with several of them dating back centuries. These structures offer visitors a glimpse into the traditional lifestyle, architecture and social practices of earlier generations, including the use of clay pottery, traditional household articles and religious practices. Curator of Dakshina Chitra Heritage Museum Lakuma Chebrolu, while interacting with a group of Kashmir-based journalists visiting the museum as part of a PIB Srinagar tour, said the initiative was not limited to preservation of heritage but was also creating livelihood opportunities for local communities, particularly women. She said a significant portion of the museums workforce comprises women, who are engaged in various activities associated with the preservation and functioning of the heritage centre. Dakshina Chitra has thus emerged as a distinctive model of heritage conservation, combining traditional architecture, cultural preservation, community participation and livelihood generation under one roof.
